Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Second review
Dr Lake is a fantastic *physician.* I went to him with a painful hip joint, barely able to walk. He sent me first to PT, then ultimately I needed a steroid shot into the hip. As a doctor: caring, considerate, practical. Takes his time to answer ALL questions—even those unrelated to the visit.

Awesome Doctor
I have been seeing Dr Lake for chronic back and knee pain. He listened carefully and ask questions. After x-rays he recommended a new medicine. After a few months with some relief he went to the next step of injections. That has made my life much better. He is conservative and does not jump to surgery right away. I will have to have surgery one day but I am happy with how the meds and injections are working.

Elbow pain
Dr. Lake and his team are amazing. I was having some elbow pain which went down to my fingers. I sent him an email telling him my issue and how soon could they see me. His nurse Katie contact me back with availability that same day. Every time I have been there I feel like I'm part of their family there. If I could give Dr. Lake and his team a 10 I would. Best in town!

Dr. Lake was very professional, attentive, clear in determining my needs, efficient, and a breath of fresh air. He wasted no time getting down to what needs to be done as far as the rain for my visit asks I loved it. I’ve never had a doctor’s visit where I was seen as soon as I arrived and was given such a warm greeting. The staff was great and welcoming as well.

Follow up from results of MRI, Dr Lake really takes the time to listen to you, he explains what's going without rushing very hospitable, professional and you can really feel that he genuinely cares and his nursing staff and everyone there are just as amazing as Dr Lake. If you are looking for a really great Dr . Then Dr Lake is your guy.

5 Stars all the way for Dr. Lake.
Dr. Lake is patient, knowledgeable and takes the time to listen to his patients concerns. He has been absolutely remarkable in helping my husband with back and leg pain. I have recommended him to several of our friends. The nursing staff, however needs to be addressed on patient services and advocacy. According to the nurses staff a patient cannot be assisted to their vehicle by means of a wheel chair. If there is a "liability" as I have been advised repeatedly, this information needs to posted at the entrances to the facility. Hopefully this issue can be addressed as there are many individuals that need assistance and don't have a significant other to help them. Perhaps offer a waiver to the indiviual to sign releasing the facility of the responsibility. This is an Orthopedic Medical Center, no one should have to worry about how they will get to their car.
